Installing FatMat & Rattle Trap

FatMat & Rattle Trap

Step 1:

Wipe off the surface that you will be applying the FatMat to with a cleaner that will not leave a residue. Be sure to get off all dirt and grease so that your FatMat bonds tightly. This step will make a big difference in how permanent your application of FatMat is. We have provided a cleanser de greaser simply dilute it with about a half gallon of water and use as a spray. Be sure that surface is completely dry before applying FatMat.

Step 2:

If necessary cut your FatMat to the needed size and shape with a utility knife then remove the backing from your FatMat and apply to the surface that you have just cleaned.

Step 3:

Make sure that you use the roller provided, this will ensure a tight bond between the FatMat and the surface. (Your fingers cannot do the job properly!!!). By using the roller you will be able to get the FatMat to stick securely to the different contours. You may find it necessary to cut the FatMat during application so that it lays flat on the surface. It is best to not leave any air between the surface and the FatMat.

CAUTION: Moisture will prevent adhesive from proper bonding. Please make sure all areas are absolutely dry! Apply the supplied FatMat Prior to installing the hood liner. The fatmat is placed under the liner for optimal performance. For floor liner and roof liner installation you can proceed to next step. For installing fatmat please refer to the supplied manual for proper installation of fatmat before applying your hood liner.

Now that you have the correct size liner simply peel off adhesive paper backing and install liner on inner surface of body panel.

CAUTION: Avoid touching adhesive with fingers when removing paper.

Step 6:

Using supplied roller press firmly on the Acoustic Liner to ensure proper bonding.

Step 7:

Reinstall body trimmings.
